Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland rainforests of the Amazon basin, including parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look for these large, striking birds on the forest floor or in low vegetation. Their distinctive red, razor-shaped bill is an unmistakable identification feature. Listen for their deep, low booming calls.
When to spot
Primarily active during the day, foraging on the forest floor for fallen fruits, seeds, and insects, with peak activity in the cooler parts of the day.

The Razor-billed Curassow's unusually shaped, large red bill is thought to be an adaptation for foraging, possibly for cracking open hard-shelled fruits, or for display.
